Searching for Self

"Where we go on this trip is not accessible by road, unless you have permission to cross multiple properties, a big four wheel drive, or a horse. We get there by raft. To explore and area I just go hiking but keep in mind where I am and what dangers might be there. Believe it or not the largest danger is falling and breaking a limb (yours not a trees).

Shock is the killer in areas such as this. I have no fear of the animals and hope to see mountain lions, bear, fox, bobcat and the many other beings that inhabit the wild areas. I am looking for connection, with the now, with the past, with Nature. Finding a rock that has been etched by the hands of an ancient being, an old fire ring with shards of obsidian around it left by hunters making arrowheads, rock sculptors created by earth movement and Mother Earth. I look for solitude and beauty, companionship with Nature and meaning in my life. I am never disappointed, always loved and humbled by Nature's creative ability. In short I guess I am searching for my Self."
